My prayers to the family. Jeff and I served together in the Tennessee National Guard and later in life I ran into him at a COG General assembly. I am currently at Fort Bliss and it breaks my heart that I did not know he was working so close. The Army has lost a great gatherer of souls and beloved Chaplain. God Bless you Rosylin.

Roslyn, I can't tell you how sorry I am today on Jeff's passing. It hurts me and Nan to hear this morning that Jeff has left this earth though we know where he went. I can't say enough about how Jeff always made an impression on me and Nan. We love you. So today, I have mixed emotions of sadness and joy as tears fill my eyes for you and your family. Sadness because Jeff will be missed by many, but most of all by you. Joy, because I know he is in heaven. You & your family will be in Nan's and my prayers. Mickey & Nan Jett

To Jeff's family: I haven't seen your husband and father for over 35 years but he and I were good friends at the Warren Church in the 60's and 70's. He did a great impression of Jimmy Stewart.
